This is a submission for the 2025 New Year Writing challenge: Compiling 2025.
Hi There I am Anand Mohan. Working as a DevOps Engineer from past 4 years. I am an open Source Advocate and a DevSecOps Learner. I would like to share my thought on Compiling 2025: My Roadmap for the Year Ahead.
2025 is here, and with it comes a fresh set of opportunities, challenges, and aspirations. For me, this year is all about growth, learning, and building—both personally and professionally. Here’s what my roadmap for 2025 looks like:
1. Upskilling in Emerging Technologies
The tech landscape evolves rapidly, and staying relevant means continuously learning. In 2025, I aim to:
- Dive deeper into Cyber Security ** and **Machine Learning, especially generative AI models.
- Gain expertise in DevSecOps, focusing on Security and Open Source.
- Explore the potential of DevSecOps and its practical applications.
2. Launching a Side Project
For years, I’ve been ideating a platform (Hackathon organizing) that bridges the gap between learners and mentors in tech. This year, I plan to turn it into a reality:
- Build an MVP using modern tech stacks like NextjS, Node, Frappe.
- Engage with the community for feedback and iterate rapidly.
- Release the platform by Q3 and evaluate its impact.
3. Writing and Content Creation
Writing has always been a passion of mine, and I want to amplify my impact by:
- Publishing at least 100+ technical blog posts on topics like open-source tools, coding best practices, and tech career advice.
- Already Started a YouTube channel to share tutorials and insights with a broader audience. I will try to create as much as I can do.
4. Embracing Wellness and Work-Life Balance
In 2025, I plan to focus on my overall well-being, balancing work and personal life by:
- Maintaining a consistent fitness routine (3-4 workouts a week).
- Practicing mindfulness and meditation daily.
- Taking quarterly breaks to recharge and travel to new places.
5. Mentoring and Giving Back
Having benefited from mentors throughout my career, I want to pay it forward by:
- Volunteering time to mentor budding developers through platforms like LinkedIn and open-source projects.
- Hosting coding bootcamps or webinars for students in underserved communities.
- Contributing more to open-source projects and actively maintaining repositories.
6. Career Growth
Professionally, I aim to:
- Transition into a tech lead role, taking on more responsibility for team growth and project management.
- Contribute to impactful projects that align with my passion for innovation and problem-solving.
- Attend at least two major tech conferences to network and stay inspired.
Closing Thoughts
2025 is shaping up to be an exciting year, full of opportunities for growth and innovation. By staying committed to my goals and embracing the journey, I hope to look back on this year as a turning point in both my personal and professional life.
